**Gesamteinschätzung:** Conditional

**DeepL** documents a European infrastructure with DeepL-operated data centers in Europe, supplemented by AWS, as well as a data residency feature for eligible plans. 


**Conclusion:**

From a data protection and hosting perspective, DeepL is particularly well suited for European freelancers, SMEs, and companies when using DeepL Pro, Team, Enterprise, or the API. For highly sensitive data, the AVV/DPA, subprocessors, data flows, and internal policies should be reviewed in advance. For local or on-prem requirements, DeepL is not the appropriate standard solution according to publicly available information.


[DeepL Privacy Policy](https://www.deepl.com/de/privacy)

**Overall assessment: **Well suited to very well suited, especially for DeepL Pro, Team, Enterprise, and API, because DeepL explicitly refers to GDPR compliance, security standards, and data protection features for business customers. The assessment is more cautious for the free version, because free use does not offer the same level of protection as the Pro/business offerings.


**Positive:** DeepL mentions GDPR compliance, SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, encryption, access controls, and protection of business content. According to DeepL, texts submitted via DeepL Pro are not stored permanently and are not used to train the models. Additional security and administration features are available for business customers. 


**Negative:** The free version does not provide the same business data protection framework as DeepL Pro, Team, Enterprise, or API. For particularly sensitive data, companies should also check: data processing agreement, selected plan, data categories, internal approvals, user management, API logging, and possible third-party/subprocessors.


**Server location: **Strong EU/Germany connection, but exact technical server/data center locations depending on the service are not fully transparent or verifiable on a single public page. DeepL is a German company based in Cologne and refers to European data protection standards. For a binding assessment, companies should review the DPA/data processing agreement, subprocessors, and security documents directly with DeepL.
